Behind the Scenes: Brazil in the World Wars. My latest deep-dive history video looks at the history of Brazil from 1914 to 1945. It's complicated.
Interiors: First-class lounge of a Convair 880 aircraft, 1958. The idea of luxury in the skies was quite different 70 years ago than today.

Historic Painting: “Phidias Showing the Frieze…” by Alma-Tadema, 1868. This wonderful painting depicts a famous artist from ancient Greece, and his most famous creation.
